FBI Probes ICE Killing in Minneapolis After Local Leaders Dispute Self-Defense

Federal investigators are reviewing the shooting that local leaders say was not justified.

Overview

  • Authorities identified the victim as Renee Nicole Macklin Good, 37, a U.S. citizen whom the Minneapolis police chief said was not the target of any investigation.
  • Witness videos show an agent approaching a stopped Honda Pilot before another agent fires at close range as the vehicle moves, with no clear evidence the car struck an officer.
  • DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and President Donald Trump describe the shooting as defensive and label the driver’s actions domestic terrorism, a characterization rejected by Minneapolis officials.
  • Protests and vigils continued across the city, schools canceled activities as a precaution, and Governor Tim Walz said the National Guard was ready if needed.
  • The incident occurred during a large ICE operation that deployed roughly 2,000 agents and reported about 1,500 arrests, and news reports say it is at least the fifth death linked to recent raids; the FBI leads the investigation as legal experts note federal immunities could complicate any prosecution.
